The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (No. 76)
Untimely Thoughts on a World in Transition
I hope you enjoyed the three-part series I did recently: “Rethinking the American Revolution,” “The Rise of the British Deep State and the Coming of the American Revolution,” and “Revolutionary Constitutionalism.” There is more to come on similar themes in the weeks ahead.
This issue of “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” is a tad on the long side, but I need to clear out all of the end-of-year material that I’ve been accumulating for the last couple of weeks. Enjoy!
THE GOOD
I HAVE JUST PUBLISHED A NEW BOOK WITH THE HOTTEST NEW PUBLISHING HOUSE IN AMERICA, LOCO-FOCO PRESS! Check it out! Political Thought of the American Revolution: A Reader, Volume I: The Imperial Crisis and Independence
This is the first volume of what will be a two-volume work. The second volume, subtitled Revolutionary Constitutionalism, should be published in a few weeks. Taken together, both volumes should provide professors, teachers, students, and the general public with the best selection of primary source documents (with my commentary) on the American Revolution.

MILEI’S AFFECT ON AMERICA IN ONE PHOTO. The photo on the left is the proposed the Republi-crat budget. On the right is the budget that Elon and Vivek got congress to approve. Progress. Not saying that I approve of the approved budget, but it’s a start:

NOT QUITE SURE HOW TO CLASSIFY THIS. That someone is finally identifying and reporting on this is good, so I guess the real question is whether result is bad or ugly.
THIS IS DEEPLY, DEEPLY TROUBLING. I take that back; it’s horrifying. Would someone please tell British “officials” that Orwell’s 1984 is a warning and NOT a guidebook. Britain is fast approaching Soviet and Nazi levels of oppression: “In the UK, you will be arrested and thrown in jail for posting criticism of mass immigration, grooming gangs, or offending trans people on social media.” And then there’s this: “What Has Happened to Great Britain’s Freedoms”?
